HISTORY MADE PLEASANT.

a
We have adopted new method of
studying history, and are becoming most
pleased with it every week. Our pupils
like it, and we think they are receiving
very many lasting benefits by its adop-
,tion. We are now studying the settle.
,ment of the original thirteen States.
With one lesson day We spend consid-
erable time on each State. Beginning
with Va, we passed over it the first time
with short lessons, by each writing an
original question, the answer of which
could be found in the lesson assigned.
These questions we're then collected in a
hat and distributed among the class.
After giving time for writing the answers,
each rises when called upon, reads the
question received, with its answer, and to
prove that the answer is correct, reads
from his history the paragraph contain.
ing it. His reading is criticised by the
class. The second going over was de-.
voted entirely to reference work. We
readfall We could find of Virginia in Har.
per's Geography and Chambers Eucy.
clop@dia, which we placed on our mantle
a month ago. We also read the biogra.
ply of every person mentioned in our
history in the settlement of Va, and
Others in connection with its history.
The third time, we asked the questions of
the book aud many others and answered
them orally. The next time We met,
the pupils gave me their histories and
all their helps except dictionaries, and
spent an hour in writing letters from the
"Ndotber Country" We have travelled
through Massachusetts on the same slow
coach that We have learned TO like,,i in
spite Of the flying wheels of the nine.
teenth century. We called awhile at
Lynn and noticed the manufactures OF
Bsy-State shoes. The Athens of Amer
ica demanded our respectful attention;
and NE had good letters from her "Con.
servatory of Music" Some of our
aspiring youths imagined themselves re.

the best sense of that much maligned
word. So careful was Paul, when writing
to his abstinent friend Timothy, that
when he advises him not Ito drink water
Only" any longer, he suggests to him to
"use little wine," but that only as a
medicine.
5. Upon the great Pauline principle OF
abstinence from intoxicants for the sake
Of others, I have already written in
these columns. The more I study that
golden precept of Paul, "It is good not
to drink wine, nor anything whereby thy
brother stumbleth," the more clearly 1
discover in it the beautiful law of deny
ing a selfish indulgence for the sake of
keeping my brother on his feet. I am
responsible for che influence of my ex-
ample. If my use of wine or ale, OF
airy alcoholic drink, causes my neighbor
to Stumble" then am I responsible, to
certain degree, for his fall. The drink
ing ussges are the prime source of dan.
ger, as everybody acknowledges; if I
drink, then I countenance and sustain
these usages. If I refuse to buy, use or
offer intoxicants, throw my vote against
both dram drinking and dram. selling.
Now, if it is not my Christian duty to.do
my utmost to save my temptible fellow.
men from the most prevalent and terrible
curse in the community, then where
under the broad heavens can there be a
Christian duty?
6. Finally, the unanswerable argument
for total abstinence may be put into this
cast steel formula: Alcoholic beverages
endaDger me if I tamper with them
they endanger my iellow-ulan if I offer
them to him, or SET him the example OF
using them. If Noah, the preacher OF
righteousness" was not safe when he
tampered with them, who is safe? The
grace of God never will save man who
is fooling in the rapids Of Niagara. "Keep
back thy servant from presumptuous
sins /" If any of our readers say, my
conscience does not forbid me to drink
glass Of liquor" TO such we reply, Then
you must take the consequences of having
such conscience. Your conscience can
not change the essential nature of an
intoxicant, cannot prevent its possible
influence on you, or avert the harm OF
your bad example to other.
Before the flood, Noah preached faith
fully to his neighbors; after it, he
preached powerful object.sermon to the
whole world in favor of total abstinence
from the drink. Every teacher ought to
lead his class up to look at the pitiable
spectacle. An ounce of prevention is
worth ten tons of cure, especially when
the cure is so difficult and doubtful. To
suppress the dramshop-law; tosave the
individual-love. And all the most eff.
fective efforts to save the young from the
drink curse may be condensed into this
single line, Stop before you begin!-

BLAcKwooD's CRIMES

In addition to the McNally case, an

BLACKWOOD's BREAK.
Possibility of Estrauged Relations with
South Carolina.

F. A. Blackwood is just now attracting
q good deal of attention in the executive
department of two States.
Blackwood is a South Carolina farmer
who seems to be practieing for the title
role of the great New York success,
"Jim, the Penman." In other words,
Blackwood has a penchant for afixing
the signatures of other men to CONNER
cial paper. Not long since he served a
term in the penitentiary at Columbia, S.
O., for forging, and he is now languishing
in the city prison of Augusta, awaiting
trial upon the same charge.
Blackwood's home is in Aiken county,
S. O., about sixteen miles from Williston
station. A short time ago he went down
to Augusta and it is said, succeeded in
getting some forged checks cashed at the
banks. The bank officials set out to find
him and employed for the purpose Officer
Edward Stone of the Augusta police
force. Stone and Mr.. j. P. McNaily, the
bank official who paid the money on the
forged check, went up to Aiken county
and found Blackwood who, after being
identified by McNally, was at once
placed under arrest. When Stone
arrested Blackwood, be asked his pris-
oner to tell where the money which he
had obtained could be found. Black
wood started to lead the officer around
the house, but the latter became suspi-
cious that Mrs. B. might be trying to
o-ceal the money, and taking his pris.
oner within the houze, began search.
He found in trunk seventy-fye dollars,
a portion of which Mr.. McNally thought
he recognized as the money which had
been paid to Blackwood in Augusta.
Stone asked his prisoner if he would be
willing to 60 to Georgia without a
requisition. Blackwood said he would
60 without any such formality and

scribed upon our bodies are not contra

his Book. There are several point. blank
prohibitions of the use of intoxicants.
Wine is declared to be "mocker," and
strong drink brawler; whosoever is
deceived thereby is not wise." That
solemn caution in the twenty third chap.
ter of Proverbs is all the more impressive
as rendered in the new Revision: "Look
not thou upon the wine when it is red,
when it giveth its color in the cup, when
it goeth down smoothly; at the last it
biteth like serpent, and stingeth like
an adder" One of John B. Coughs
most vividly pathetic appeals for total
abstinence is all condensed into that sim
gle verse: the fascinating witchery Of the
drink, and the swift sequel of damnation
at the last. That is the Bibles way of
dealing with evil things points to the
afterwards. Another scriptural recogni.
ton of the peril of intoxicants is found
in Leviticus 10: 8, 9, where the priests
were forbidden to touch wine or strong
drink when they ministered in Gods
temple. Surely Jewish priest in the
sanctuary had no more serious work on
his hands than a Christian has every day
in serving his Lord and Master. A
Christian is a "temple oftbe Holy Spirit"
in whom Christ dwelleth. Surely his
imagination should not be a brothel, or
his body a tippling-house. The wine.
